The EU Commission has revealed its latest legislative framework
with regard to the regulation of AI. With the aim of creating a
global standard, the EU Commission has adopted a risk-based
approach to regulating this vast and ever-growing computer science.
The legislative framework creates a four tier risk system which can
be updated with the emergence of new technologies.
AI - The Legal Framework
The new framework introduces an outright ban on governmental
social scoring. This is a system that judges people based solely on
their behavior. The ban extends also over the use of AI to exploit
children. "It can be a case where a toy uses voice systems to
manipulate a child into doing something dangerous," EU
Executive Vice President of the European Commission Margrethe
Vestager said. "Such uses have no place in Europe and
therefore we propose to ban them."
